Review on Headphone Jack Removal Tool - Headphone Plug Extractor with Multiple Tube Sizes and Jack Remover by Eric Speers

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It works, but be careful not to apply too much pressure.

The instructions were pretty useless but provided enough information to to help you get started. I selected the indicated tube and plugged it into the iPad's headphone jack and pressed lightly. I then used a small pair of pliers to press down on the column and tap VERY lightly. I used a pair of pliers to grab the end of the collar and gently pull it out, squeezing lightly so the tube holds what it's grabbing. After a minute or two of fiddling, it fell out, along with part of the headphone jack stem and a very small screw that appeared to be part of the headphone jack. Encouraged by this victory, I tightened my pliers around the tube and reinserted it. Even after repeated knocking and pulling nothing came out. So I re-tightened it and pulled hard. The rest of the fork came out and a tip clearly visible. Removed all of this from the tube and turned on the iPad. It worked. I bought headphones and played the song on YouTube and the phones worked fine. Turn them on and off to be sure

Pros
  • APPLICATION: Use the short one first! Plug it into the headphone hole. Stand your phone or tablet upright and place the handset on the table. It is better to put a book under the table so as not to leave scars on the table. Gently push down to feel the ejector grab the broken headphone connector. Then, using your hands or pliers, tighten the end of the tube and pull it out. If the defective plug is not removed completely, use a long headphone jack puller. Use the same method as above.
